I'm on Fairfield -2 @ Manhatten
Fairfield already beat them at home 88 - 85 this year
This is crunch time for Fairfield as they are 10-5 in Mac and trying to get the 2 spot. Manhatten just had a big win vs Iona but still are only 2 for last 10.
Manhatten scores 64 ppg and put up 85 of Fairfield last time, its hard to believe they will put those numbers up again. Fairfield had won the last 3 in this Matchup SU (but just 1-2 ATS) but won and covered at Manhatten last March. Fairfield will be ready for this one having played them tight last time and seeing the jaspers just beat Iona. Thoughts (one issue is Fairfield lost their #3 Scorer a few games ago but are 2-1 W/O him the only loss being a 2pt loss to Siena)
Also really like Uconn +9.5 @ Nova I think 2daban's write really summed it up well so I will Tail him on this one especially since seeing how well Uconn had played Nova in the past... Although it seems everyone is on Uconn in here which scares me alittle b/c I thought it would be the opposite
[quote=2daBank;3200771]Ucon +9.5....lets just start by saying no 1 has liked fading ucon much more than me and im sure i will do it again before it is all said and done... so lets just forget about the numbers that scream to you that nova is the play, i know what they are ive seen them and yes im even aware nova is ranked pretty high (what exactly i dont know or care)...on to the game...Nova fast paced up and down style is just what the doctor ordered for ucon, lets be real there offense struggles horribly in the half court set ucon likes to run and nova will accommodate them ....longer stronger teams are what bother ucon and luckily that is not nova's game....everyone was ready to get behind ucon last game with there coaches return right idea wrong time, did you see how pissed coulhon was after that game? C'mon the guy is a legend if you dont think his guys will be ready to play this 1 you are crazy...ucon is on life support and while im not convinced they are anything special as ive been saying before anyone would believe me they were getting to much respect, now the tables have turned and as much as they were getting to much love now we have a overreaction the other direction (lets call this the payton manning effect)...bottom line is we should have another big east battle on our hands and i will sit back and feel good with the 9.5....
I also am Leaning on Western Carolina 1H @ NC Greensboro... WCU (18-8) have lost 3 in a row and are reeling. THey need to right the ship and are in a perfect spot vs a bad team (5-19) (3-10H). WCU already won by 10 at Home this year and the spread was 16.5... I believe even without the last cover WCU is 16pts better than NCG and this line should be more but b/c of the last game and WCU's 3 game losing streak they kept it down. I think the 1H line will be way low and WCU will come out Firing on all cylanders. Thoughts??
***On a side note I think this Forum has been great with discussions and arguements for one team or another it really helps out when deciding on games. Thanks to everyone that gives their insight and lets all win some money!!
